Bremen clinches NSC crown outright
Morgan Smith and Alexa Harshbarger earned individual championships for Bremen, and the Lady Lions finished up a Northern State Conference championship run Monday night at DeSantis Courts.
Smith put away Knox’s Kelsey Thomas 6-3, 6-1 at 1 singles, while Harshbarger won Bremen the 2 singles championship with a straight-set win over New Prairie’s Olivia Kuczmanski 7-6(5), 6-0.
Bremen advanced to the championship on all five courts to finish no lower than second place in any position at the NSC Tournament. The Lions thus clinch the outright conference crown after an undefeated slate in round robin play. They were forced to share the league title with Jimtown last year after winning the head-to-head round but falling short of the Jimmies in the tournament.
Meanwhile Monday, Knox topped New Prairie in the final tournament standings to finish up in a tie for second place in the final NSC rankings. The Redskins advanced to championships on three courts as Thomas was runner-up at 1 singles, Kayla Bailey beat Triton’s Carrie Slabaugh in a nip-tuck match for third at 2 singles, 7-6(5), 1-6, 6-0, and Brittany Fletcher beat Bremen’s Andrea Strehler in three sets, 6-1, 3-6, 6-1, for the 3 singles championship. Knox won the 1 doubles championship Saturday, when Chelsea Collins and Miranda Shepherd trumped Bremen’s Haley Foster and Cassie Sears 6-1, 6-0.
Triton wound up fourth, Jimtown was fifth, and LaVille and John Glenn ended in a tie for sixth in the NSC.

NorthWood downs Plymouth
NorthWood came out fighting on Senior Night, and the Lady Panthers handed visiting Plymouth a 6-1 loss in the two teams’ second Northern Lakes Conference contest in Nappanee Monday.
Plymouth struck first in the second inning when Bailey Brown rapped out a leadoff hit, stole second and then scored on Katie Berg’s single to center. NorthWood escaped multiple Plymouth threats as the Lady Pilgrims left seven runners on in the first three innings alone.
The Panthers had a more even scoring effort, plating three in the third and sixth innings. Errors proved to be Plymouth’s second opponent on the night as NorthWood had fewer hits than Plymouth but crossed the plate five more times than the Pilgrims, who committed four errors in the loss.
Offensively, Plymouth had a balanced batting effort as all hits were by different players.
The Pilgrims finish up the regular season with two more home games this week. They wrap up conference play with Northridge on Wednesday and host Culver Girls Academy on Senior Night Friday with game time scheduled for 4:45 p.m.

Glenn holds off Cougars
John Glenn notched a narrow 3-2 Northern State Conference win over visiting New Prairie Monday night.
Mark Einhorn struck out six and surrendered no walks and six hits for the Falcons, who moved to 9-4 in conference play while dropping the Cougars to 6-7 in the league.
The Falcons jumped on top with a two-run first. Drew McDonald singled, and David Jaworski hit a two-out liner to right to score him. Kyle Liedtky reached on a high pop up and infield error, allowing Austin Bloss to single home Jaworski, putting Glenn up 2-0.
After New Prairie plated a run of its own in the second, the Falcons stretched their lead back to 2-1 in the fifth when Ryan Price was hit by a pitch, McDonald bunted him over, and Justin Gierlowski ripped a liner over second for his second RBI of the night.
New Prairie mounted a comeback with an unearned run in the top of the seventh, but Eihnorn composed himself with the winning run on base.
